This isn’t what we call a T-Mobile leak per se, but the HTC Ruby/Amaze 4G model has leaked out of Thailand according to local site Droid Sans. According to the site HTC is testing a new Android device that is capable of DC-HSPA+ speeds in Thailand which further gives us hope that this device is capable of 42Mbps data speeds.

The images in the pictures themselves match the ones we’ve seen leak with T-Mobile branding and although these are a different color the hardware seems to match spot on. According to the Droid Sans site this device being test is a 4.3″, 960×540 qHD, 8-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash and a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU. The device being handled also has 1GB or RAM inside as well as 16GB of storage, Android 2.3 running along with Sense 3.5 running on top of that. The design of the phone itself does match the earlier viewed leaked images of the HTC Ruby so we’re inclined to believe this is the same phone, just in black. If our ninjas are correct, the HTC Ruby/Amaze 4G for T-Mobile will come in at least two color models as well.

No, but it is a weighing option. No one wants to walk around with a brick in their pocket. Besides I’m just go unlock this baby and overclock the hell out of the processor.

But like I said, I don’t care of this phone was anorexic thin. I don’t want it! I’ll have me and iPhone 5 when its comes time. As much as I despise Apple, I but up with them for awhile till HTC and android get their selves together.

Especially HTC, they putting out so many phones but using the same exact hardware from previous HTC phones. Like can we get a better camera, a less laggy and buggy sense UI, more internal memory, better quality sound, louder volume, and more vibrant brighter screen (compare to iP4 screen), lastly, an actually 1080p vid camcorder that records as .mp4 instead of dated .3pg. They need work on A LOT things, besides pushing the same phones out with different processors. What a joke!

I have a Sensation 4G and I never regretted it for a second, its a Sleek, Classy, Powerful phone and works very well. The Amaze 4G will have more powerful features. Yea? SO what! Phones are ALWAYS going to be coming out just a tad more powerful than the one you bought a few months ago, get over it and be GLAD we have so many winning devices coming our wayy. FINALLY!

Yep, they’ll always be chasing that “latest and greatest” dragon, yet never have anything to show for it. Frankly, I’m not impressed if someone has the current “beast of a phone”. I’m more impressed with those who get a phone they like and are happy with.

What does it matter if the network will not provide the DL speeds it claims to be putting out??? The S4G says it can do 15 down but i’m lucky to get 5 in 10 different large cities i have tried it!!!!!

I have gotten high 13’s on my SK4G nothing less than 6 which is still good. btw sk4g is capable of 21mbps but real world speed are normally 75 percent at most.

Excellent post. You’re right, the Sensation is a great, high end device. The Amaze/Ruby is nice and all, but is it really THAT much better than the Sensation? I’m guessing not really, at least not something an everyday user would notice. The only reason I can see getting this over the Sensation is if they’re the same price–otherwise save a few bucks and go with the Sensation. You may not have the “latest and the greatest”, but you’ll have a damn good phone.

This device is sexy, and unmistakably htc.. Sucks that they moved away from using amoled displays though..

The main reason i’m planning on buying a Samsung device this time around, is because the combination of samoled+ and exynos will be too much to resist..

but If the hercules doesn’t have the exynos chip, this most likely will be my next phone(especially if they bundle in some beats by dre head phones).. *notices the sound of flame throwers powering on*.. lol

What’s wrong with the GSII having a Qualcomm Snapdragon? The international GSII LTE variant has a 1.5ghz dual core Snapdragon and it’s a screaming fast phone software-wise and network-wise.

The Architect(of the Matrix)

I didn’t mean to come off arrogant or douchey.. I’m not knocking the snapdragon at all..

since both of these devices are rumored to be sporting snapdragon chips, the decision (for me) comes down to the build quality of htc vs the screen quality of Samsung..

My last three devices are htc manufactured, but exynos and samoled+ would have been enough to make me defect to camp samsung.. I’m still on the fence though..

GS2 has the exynos… At least the US variants do… That was confirmed at the launch event.

Except the T-Mobile variant. According to reports, that one will have the Qualcomm chip instead for some reason.

I don’t think it was their choice to move away from the amoled screens.

The Architect(of the Matrix)

Agreed.. If I recall correctly, it was due to supply constraints during the summer of 2010..

The original galaxy s series was set to debut, and reports claimed that Samsung barely had enough displays to use on their own devices..

This allegedly pushed back production of the dinc, even the nexus one was affected..I do commend htc for finding a viable and competitive alternative..

That phone screams mytouch but perhaps with the merger looming they might not label it as that(hence the Amaze 4g name)

Just picked up the Sensation.
I think that those that are waiting for this new HTC phone will be very happy.
I like the looks of the sensation a boot more but the sites if the ruby are SWEET

jarjon76

Just picked up the Sensation as well and what a phone! I’m very happy with it and haven’t had any major issues with it at all. This is my first all touchscreen phone (I was a QWERTY “hanger on” for the longest time) and I’ve had no problems getting used to it.

As far as the Ruby, it is nice, but doesn’t stand out too much from what’s out there and what’s about to come. It’s another nice high end phone that T-Mobile is offering, which is both a good and bad thing. Good that consumers have yet another choice, but bad in that phones are coming out way too quickly these days. That’s the way the industry is now, it is what it is.

I think people saying this looks like a mytouch are crazy. there is nothing on this phone that looks like a mytouch. The mytouch (4g) has physical buttons, the camera is in a different place, speaker grill, etc. And as a bonus the camera doesn’t seem to stick out as much on the back, and the battery cover looks nicer than the sensation. :) I am glad i didn’t jump on the sensation too soon.

Definitely agree. That’s what I saw. It looks like a fusion of the Nexus S/MyTouch line design.

Anonymous

Not liking the wasted real estate on the bottom of the screen, or the general look of it. My guess would be this is an upgraded MyTouch 4G, it really is the only way to justify releasing an HTC device 4 months after the Sensation 4G. It would upset a lot of people. Another thought might be the G Infinity? Although I was hoping for something better than the year old GB at launch.

woow,., I just got a $829.99 iPad2 for only $103.37 and my mom got a $1499.99 HDTV for only $251.92, they are both coming with USPS tomorrow. I would be an idiot to ever pay full retail prices at places like Walmart or Bestbuy. I sold a 37″ HDTV to my boss for $600 that I only paid $78.24 for.

This looks like an Amaze 4G to me. If you notice, all HTC phones of late look similar. They put the speaker in center up at the top (and it’s always some sort of grill) and the buttons down at the bottom. They’re not physical buttons like any mytouch device. HTC always uses the same icons in the same order. This phone, based on the specs is in a class by itself. It’s a dual channel device capable of the 42mpbs technology. That’s the fastest version of hspa + right now, I’m told. Plus the 4.3″ screen is super hi-res 960×540! Dual core 1.5 GHz processor. 8MP main camera, ~2MP front facing camera. the phone looks pretty darn sleek. It’s a tough call between this and the SGS2. They both have similar spec. The SGS2 screen might have better colors but the res on the Amaze is sharper and will make text and pictures look very nice. Plus I heard they changed the screen on the Amaze to make it clearer in sunlight, removing some gap between the glass and the actual screen. It’s supposed to make a different. I can’t wait for them both to come out and compare!!

When I go from my Sensation to my wife’s Nexus its like night and day.
Her phone used to be mine and I was once an Android purist.
No longer though.
I use my phone for work and wouldn’t be as productive without the sense email client.
Stock Android email client can’t compete imho

I must say that it’s a shame that google can’t polish their own friggin UI!
You don’t see apple and Microsoft having to rely on phone manufacturers to do their friggin job!
Oh ya and the kicker being the manufactures get hit with patent violations because google is shielded by giving Android away free.
so google message should be, “hey HTC thanks for not only polishing up our UI (should be or job) but also for shielding us from numerous lawsuits!!”.

Um this would be why they are releasing ice cream sandwich because its supposed to be a redesign like honeycomb except for cell phones

I don’t understand. Why should Google, or HTC (or Samsung,) be responsible for ensuring you have a working client for Exchange? I have a better idea. Have Microsoft release a polished Android app for Exchange access. Do you rely solely on native and HTC apps? So what if Apple provides a working client? Android chooses not to. Buy Touchdown. Works perfectly.

FYI: T-Mobile reps are testing the phone already prior to launch. I’ve played with it a little, but haven’t used it for an extended period of time. These pictures definitely look exactly like the Ruby I saw except the color. (The one I saw was white.) The friend I have who tested it for a few weeks said that there were some serious glitches they needed to work out, but that was about a month ago. It looks pretty sweet so hopefully the problems will be worked out and it can launch without requiring a bunch of software updates to make it work right.

—
Another thing I just thought of: The Ruby I played with did have Sense 3.0, but this one could just be using ADW launcher. I dunno.

can u tell us more about the hardware, since that’s less likely to change?
